    Lineage OS is kinda of a pain with banking app and apps that require google APIs. Even revolut stopped working and say goodbye to any NFC payments. There’s also Lineage for MicroG which is recommended if you want google APIs

    LineageOS is a bad idea as far as security is comcerned since it doesn’t even support relocking the bootloader which is required for secure boot. Strongly recommend GrapheneOS instead. Sadly only works on Pixel phones but what can you do, they’re the only phones whose hardware security features are available for alternative operating systems. Get a used one to avoid supporting Google.

    Haven’t been to reddit since the 3rd party bullshit. Switched to linux almost 30 years ago and never looked back. Newpipe and Tubular aren’t working for me lately. Maybe the next update. I’ve used LineageOS for a few years with no problems. If your bank app gives issues, just look up the Magisk modules that will fix that. It’s not too difficult. People make excuses, or justifications, for why they just have to use something, but in the end it’s what you can live with yourself still using. My hangup is Amazon, but I’ve been weaning myself from that lately because it makes me sick everytime I use it.

    So, itˋs hard to fully switch to, but it has a growing community and there are some good creators on there (although, mostly Linux/FOSS enthusiasts) - so let me plug !peertube@lemmy.world

    Other than that, I still have a lot of gmail adresses, switching them will be a pain, since i will have to go through what I used them for. My main mail is with a German provider, though (posteo.de)

    I am in the process of setting up my own suite of fediverse stuff to host, these days. Have been learning a lot by dealing with frustration these past days :D (I only had some basic experience self-hosting, itˋs been a learning journey)

    I am also on the wagon. I just deleted Reddit to come here.

    The only thing i need, is to switch my Outlook mail to something else. Any ideas?
